This image was taken during my vintage phase, which later turned into the series When the Family is Away. It is a series of vintage-styled self portraits taken in late 2015-early 2016 in my home, when my family was either asleep or at work. This image didn’t make the cut in the final series, as it didn’t fit stylistically. This image is shot using natural daylight, whereas they others use artificial at night time. I still love the image and maybe it will fit into a future series.
